These objectives included the ability to bid on projects in any location, hire computer-aided design engineers from beyond a 50-mile radius and then allow them to work from anywhere, and simplify IT and data management. After trying several VDI solutions, the firm found the cost to be prohibitive and the performance to be poor. Workspot proposed a modern approach to achieving Mead & Hunt's business goals, and the Workspot Workstation Cloud on Microsoft Azure pilot was up and running in one day. The firm experiences these benefits:
Andy Knauf, CIO, Mead & Hunt, said: "In theory, virtual workstations were the key to driving corporate growth; in practice, however, we found that VDI solutions from other vendors did not meet our performance standards. With Workspot workstations on Azure, we're seeing ridiculous speed. The firm has overall greater agility now to pursue business anywhere, and the cost of taking on new projects is substantially lower as we open new branch offices with inexpensive laptops and networks in days. My IT team is happy, the CAD design engineers are happy, and I get a consistent cost every month for our virtual workstations on Azure." About Workspot PR contact:
